Reinhard is in Origin.
Reinhard is a Germanic given name from Old High German ragin/regin “counsel, decision (of the gods)” and hard “hardy, brave,” conveying “strong in counsel” or “brave advisor.” It appears in medieval German records and literature, then persisted as both a given name and a surname. The name remains familiar in Germany and Austria and occurs in Scandinavia, but is uncommon in English-speaking countries.
Variants include Reinhardt, Reinhart, Reinart, and Rainhard; related forms in French and English are Reynard/Raynard, famous from the fox trickster tales but ultimately from the same Reginhard root. Short forms are Rein and Reini. The -hard element connects Reinhard to cognate formations like Bernard and Leonard, though their first elements differ. Usage peaked in parts of Central Europe in the early 20th century and now reads classic, carrying a steady, authoritative tone grounded in wise counsel and steadfast courage.
